Ahoj. Jsme na kanadské cyklistické asociace projektu se nyní usadil do našehoubytování v blízkosti hřiště v Novém Městě na Moravě. Sorry I've already started speaking the natural tongue here..Already forgetting I'm english. Anyway we've settled into our accommodation just outside the town on Nove Mesto Na Morave where the course is located. After two nights of fantastic sleeps, buffet style breakfasts and confusing rides on the course I think we at Team Canada are all feeling pretty comfortable. Only two bikes were lost in air transit, luckily staff bikes were in full loaner use. The course is pretty awesome I must say. Constant up, downs, rights, lefts, ups, downs, roots and jumps plaster the wooded area making for a very fast, technical and spectator friendly course. In 2011 I think there was 20,000 spectators..that's a little nerve-racking coming from the town of Peachland that has 5,000 people.. We've also ridden some of the nice quiet local roads to and from the course, which is 14.583 km to be exact. After some thorough laps and video reconn with the one and only Evan Mcneely its now to spend some hours on the internet lurking hard and hardly working to rest up the body and legs for Saturday's showdown in the Under-23 field.
Here's a few, well a lot more than a few, photos below to give you the idea of what the area of like. Small towns, narrow roads, beautiful fields, little shops is all you need to enjoy a nice little week in Czech republic for a bike race.
More reports coming post race..
